James Robert Hughes (March 21, 1923 – August 13, 2001) was an American
Pacific theatre of World War II.[1]
Hughes was 29 years old when he made his
minor leagues
and concluded his MLB tenure with both Chicago teams, working in 29 games for them over the 1956 and 1957 seasons.
For his MLB career, he compiled a 15–13 record and 39 saves in 172 appearances, with a 3.83
inning with the Bombers already leading 4–0. Hughes kept the Dodgers in the game over the next four innings, allowing only one run on a home run to Yogi Berra and striking out three. He departed for a pinch hitter, George Shuba, who clubbed a two-run homer to bring Brooklyn within a run of the Yankees, at 5–4. In the next inning, they tied the score at five. But the Yankees rallied for four late-inning runs and won the game, 9–5.[2]
It was Hughes' only World Series appearance.
Hughes' professional baseball career ended in 1958. He died in Chicago at the age of 78.
